Red Robin Posted February 1, 2017 Share I was watching (for the life of me can't remember on what or where) a clip of Mick Jones in later life doing a set in a library and whilst he was obviously much older, that guitar sound was just as memorable. I think he sang as well but was not the same as Joe Strummer. cfcjim and Stretch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Peel's favourite song of all time. Seek out the documentary it's excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcjim Posted February 1, 2017 Share true that great song too super jealous..Unfortunately i was in the UK in the midst of all that 90's britpop douchebaggery...but still managed to see some pretty memorable bands as for the clash..this has to be my favourite clash video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOgwuwzfyvQApart from the "Douchebaggery" and there was a lot, the nineties was a great time to be a music lover in the UK. The end of Shoegazing, the renaissance of guitar based indie rock, gigs everywhere it was great! I was travelling the world as was the want of my employer and living between Bayswater and Cape Town. I've been a very lucky fellow, Stretch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted February 1, 2017 Share Apart from the "Douchebaggery" and there was a lot, the nineties was a great time to be a music lover in the UK. The end of Shoegazing, the renaissance of guitar based indie rock, gigs everywhere it was great! I was travelling the world as was the want of my employer and living between Bayswater and Cape Town. I've been a very lucky fellow,Agreed... Great great bands and plenty of them. My favourite band of the time.. And still up there... Was the kitchens of distinction who were classified as a shoegazing band.. But were not really... Was the first band I saw live. Upstairs at a small pub in Camden..I was like a deer in the headlights.. Cannot remember one song they played. Fortunately got to see them again though! Always enjoyed those small venues. Watching j mascis do an acoustic set once I casually glanced to my left and noticed bobby Gillespie chilling next to me!
